The Romance Bookie

Hey! In my neighborhood we have this cool book box!  In it we can put books in and take a book when we see something we want to read ourselves.  I love this thing!  I look into multiple times a week, to see if there is anything new; I've put a few in myself too.  Out of that box, I recently found Drew Barrymore's memoir, Wildflower.   I have always loved Drew Barrymore's movies!  Especially the ones she does with Adam Sandler!   Blended is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time!  In fact I watched it last night with my husband for like the hundredth time!  So I was really excited to read her memoir! A lot of us have heard the notorious stories about Drew Barrymore's childhood.  So I was really intrigued to hear her story from the person who actually lived it herself.

But can a star as famous as Graham really start a relationship with an ordinary girl like Ellie? And why does Ellie want to avoid the media's spotlight at all costs? My Thoughts: This is a book all about fate.  Fate of finding that one person you are meant to be with, and finding a way to stay with that person!   I was talking to one of Goodreads friends, who also happened to be reading the book at...

Hey Everyone!! Today's a sad day... Why? One word... School. Summer has come and gone, way too fast, friends have left to head off to their schools, and now it's time to get back to business. Luckily, I believe I will still have time for reading, because my online classes allow me to do that!  Which is AWESOME!!! Reviews might just not be coming in as normal as usual.  But I'm hoping to have at least one up a week! :) So now to my review!! Actually before I go into The Next Best Thing , I wanted to say some back ground information about Jennifer Weiner, the author. Jennifer Weiner is not only the bestselling author of books like In Her Shoes , which was made into a movie quite a few years ago, featuring Cameron Diaz; but she was also the writer and creator of the ABC Family TV series State of Georgia , which featured Raven Symone ( The Cosby Show & That's So Raven ). Why am I bringing this up, you may be wondering? Well, after reading The Next...
